Episode 157: Too Many Philosophers

It takes a lot to make a podcast. A pinch of cold brew to make us last. A scoop of irony to add the spice. And pretty soon you’ve got too many coo— oh… OH NO. IT GOT ME. *shakes head vigorously* Okay… whew… um… Yeah, Too Many Cooks. It’s viral, though more in the sense that if we don’t discuss it, we’ll have committed some kind of unforgivable Internet Faux Pax. Apologies for the noisy audio as Kevin and I recorded this episode outdoors. There was a sock on the mic. It was absurd. Enjoy!

Rule Set Update C

Kevin and Stephen reflect on episodes 154, 155, and 156, and refresh the rule framework of BF with a change, removal, and addition. Since we screwed up in planning, Kevin changed a rule on behalf of the audience. We also began using GitHub to publicly host and edit the canonical rule set. If you would like to submit a rule change suggestion, you may do so by following the Git process or emailing us. Cheers!

Episode 156: Privelosophy

We all exist in a vast network of mostly unacknowledged power relationships. Those of us in the Western, English-speaking, Caucasian culture especially have disproportionately high economic, social, and political advantages — aka. “privilege.” This episode, Kevin and I discuss privilege and attempt to unpack some of ours through the lens of a recent controversy over my ASL music videos. It’s a doozy, y’all. Have a listen…

Episode 155: The Right to [REDACTED]

Do we have a fundamental right to be forgotten on the Internet? Would the exercise of that right constitute censorship? How do these considerations intersect with our notions of privacy and security? This episode Kevin and I dive deep into these questions. A broad topic, complex rabbit trails, and more show notes than you can shake a Stingray at… it’s time for BF! Enjoy.

Episode 154: Coffee of the Breakfast Variety

Six years ago today, we launched BadPhilosophy.com

We didn’t know what would happen. We didn’t have guests. We didn’t have topics. We didn’t even have microphones. But over the months and years we put stuff out there, not caring too much about the reception (“Bad”, remember?). We just enjoyed ourselves to the max, spoke our minds, and brought anyone along who was brave enough to ride our mildly crazy train.

Continuing our long-standing traditions and inaugurating some news ones this episode, Kevin and I (appropriately) took on the topic of nostalgia once again. Enjoy the show!

P.S. If you haven’t done so yet, listen to some of our early shows. They’re a hoot.
